Using construction as their metaphor, authors Joe Tye and Bob Dent make a compelling case that a healthcare organization’s invisible architecture—a foundation of core values, a superstructure of organizational culture, and the interior finish of workplace attitude—is no less important than its visible architecture. Further, they assert that culture will not change unless people change, and people will not change unless they are inspired to do so and given the right tools. The fully updated second edition of Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare takes readers on a journey from accountability to ownership—providing a proven model, strategies, and practical solutions to help improve organizational culture in the healthcare setting. Learn how investing in your organization and your people can enable a significant, successful change in productivity; employee engagement; nurse satisfaction, recruitment, and retention; quality of care; patient satisfaction; and financial outcomes.

The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Leaders of successful hospitals realize that, for their organizations to remain sustainable in a dynamic and unpredictable health care environment there must be an understanding of and strong commitment to the organizational culture. However, nursing leaders have been unsuccessful in achieving the types of cultural changes that lead to an increase in quality of care and in the job satisfaction of nurses. This book, address a method to identify any cultural differences among the key stakeholder groups with respect to attributes identified as necessary for a Magnet work environment. Specifically nurse leadership interventions to obtain Magnet status in a Southeast medical center in the United States, were used to compare nurse leadership, staff nurses, and physician leadership groups. These interventions were used to compare the perceptions of Magnet attributes, the priorities of Magnet attributes, and the degree of acceptance of the Magnet attributes. The analysis should help small, medium, and large hospitals determine where gaps might reside between the three groups in order to move to a Magnet or Magnet-like culture. A cultural change model for nursing is also presented.

In her new book, Nancy Fox draws from her life experiences as Eden Alternative executive director, nursing home administrator, caregiver, educator, student, mother, child and grandchild to paint a picture of life as it could be for our elders, and how we can make that happen as leaders and caregivers.From the importance of formal leaders' involvement in culture change to the impact of the leaders found at all levels of the organization, she challenges us to rethink the meanings of leadership and success in human terms. Through her ten leadership pathways to culture change, she carries us through the process of first opening ourselves to the possibilities, then growing ourselves and others. We must learn not only to honor our elders, but also ourselves as caregivers and to begin to see caregiving as truly sacred and valued work.Each chapter amply describes the pathway, and in a friendly, conversational style fleshes out the concept with anecdotes and personal experiences, ending with practical exercises and activities that can disseminate the information to nursing home staff.

Building on the revolutionary Institute of Medicine reports To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Keeping Patients Safe lays out guidelines for improving patient safety by changing nurses' working conditions and demands. Licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing assistants are critical participants in our national effort to protect patients from health care errors. The nature of the activities nurses typically perform â€" monitoring patients, educating home caretakers, performing treatments, and rescuing patients who are in crisis â€" provides an indispensable resource in detecting and remedying error-producing defects in the U.S. health care system. During the past two decades, substantial changes have been made in the organization and delivery of health care â€" and consequently in the job description and work environment of nurses. As patients are increasingly cared for as outpatients, nurses in hospitals and nursing homes deal with greater severity of illness. Problems in management practices, employee deployment, work and workspace design, and the basic safety culture of health care organizations place patients at further risk. This newest edition in the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine Quality Chasm series discusses the key aspects of the work environment for nurses and reviews the potential improvements in working conditions that are likely to have an impact on patient safety.
